Say "HEY!" to your neighbors and get your dance on! Jazzy rhythms, silly rhymes, and welcoming images are guaranteed to entice little readers.
Some days you wake up and you just gotta wokka. Wokka what? Wokka-wokka! It’s about movement. It’s about dance. It’s about shimmy-shakin’, be-boppin’, and more! It’s about gathering friends and joining the party. The creative team behind MY FATHER THE DOG returns with a call-and-response for preschoolers, an exuberant invitation to be part of the fun — and show your stuff!
Elizabeth Bluemle is the author of DOGS ON THE BED, illustrated by Anne Wilsdorf, and MY FATHER THE DOG, illustrated by Randy Cecil. Elizabeth Bluemle lives in Vermont, where she co-owns The Flying Pig Bookstore in Shelburne.
Randy Cecil is the illustrator of MY FATHER THE DOG by Elizabeth Bluemle; ONE IS A SNAIL, TEN IS A CRAB by April Pulley Sayre; and David Elliott’s NEW YORK TIMES bestseller AND HERE'S TO YOU! He is also the author-illustrator of GATOR AND DUCK. He lives in Houston, Texas.
In an infectious burst of movement, rhythm, and rhyme, a multiethnic cast of children in an urban neighborhood strut their stuff and celebrate their uniqueness.
